Super Sewing Sunday

How are you spending this SuperBowl Sunday? I'm working on this memory quilt for a friend's dad. I made my friend one and her dad wants one too. I have one more to make for my sister in law's friend whose son passed away. He was a marine who came home and then passed away in his sleep one night. They aren't sure why. I really don't like making memory quilts but know they are needed and appreciated. They are just hard to make because I want them to be perfect and there's too much pressure there. My friend has been asking about this quilt for a couple months. Other things have come up and pushed this to the back burner. I finally decided I couldn't wait any longer to get this done. I'm hoping to get it on the quilting machine later today. I have one coming off as soon as I get off the computer. I just have so much grading to do. I have three TA's, but even with all the help, we just can't keep up. I've been out so much and when you have a sub, you have to leave a lot of work for the kids. It's work I would have them do normally for homework, but this way everyone turns the work in. With homework, not everyone does it. Oh, to balance everything.
